2013 Year of Service





John 13:1-17
“Now that I, you Lord and Teacher have washed your feet you also should do as I have done for you…you will be blessed    ”v14, 17


 
The story in John Chapter 13, was the encounter between Christ and his disciples, just before his death on Calvary. He was washing their feet, Peter as usual being an unspoken one, thought it respectful to refuse the Lord from washing his feet; Peter not knowing the spiritual lesson, the Lord was passing, was about to miss out of a divine grace that would have helped him when eventually he became the leader of the earthly church, Peter would have ended up being a burden on Gods people and missed out of the kingdom package.

Friend is your present condition or people around you making you feel important and you are not serving God's people. Know that if our works must become profitable not necessary in terms of material possession, we must be a servant worker. 

As we progress in the year, will you locate your own task in God's Business and Life? Because we all have task to do that have been prepared in advance for us ‘for we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do’ Ephesians 2:10
This task must be done in humility.  

Lesson Learnt
Anointing is at the place of service

Prayer
Lord Almighty, thank you for saving me, and not just leaving me to rove instead you prepare my own task, dear Lord help me locate it, pursue same in humility& in service to mankind and you ultimately. (Amen)

Everybody Should Win:The need to Learn how to Resolve Conflict

“Two are better than one, because they have good return for their labour” Eccl. 4:9 “Make every effort to live in peace with everyone and to be holy; without holiness no one will see the Lord” Hebrews 12:14 As a development consultant with some specialty in conflict management, working in the space for over a decade now, I can confirm that indeed life is inevitable without conflicts. But how we manage the process is key. The Bible references above reminds of the benefits we get from working together and also living in peace and above all the spiritual benefits. Living in peace facilitates holy living, which in turn makes us to see the Lord, in everything we do. This article will be a form of review of Gary Chapman’s book “Everybody Wins: Guide to Solving Conflicts without Arguing” (if you can please get a copy for yourself). The goal of everyone, couples or people in relationship should be to resolve conflict without arguing. We must first establish before proceeding ...

Prayer Mission Statement IV

Acts 10:1-8 “He and all his family were devout and God fearing, he gave generously to those in need and prayed regularly” v 2. We go a step further  in our family prayer series, before we round up it up with the next post by His grace. The suggestion in part IV is to formulate a family prayer mission statement, our praying should focus on our mission statement. Remember some couples of weeks back, we shared the issue of vision and mission statement together and through the scripture, we agreed that without a vision/mission statement people perish, people are stagnant or have no direction at all. Like said yesterday that as a family there is need to have or know the purpose and plan of God for our family. The statement could be written or not, but it gives your family direction. For Cornelius, he and his family knew they were meant to help the poor and pray fervently. They never used their position as a prominent military family to intimidate people. Their statement ...
